Quotes I loved:
“It’s okay not to have it together all the time and to receive help.”
“For a long time, I believed God didn’t see my suffering, that He remained invisible during my tuning greatest need, but the truth was I simply didn’t know where to for Him…God is often made visible by the hands and feet of the people He places in our lives.”
“I never needed you to be strong enough. I only ever needed you to be here.”
“I can’t erase the darkness for you, but u can be the one to hold the light when you’re ready to come home.”

TW: death of loved ones(not on page) but very heavy themes.
: None
: Kisses Only

OVERVIEW: Three friends. Two broken promises. One missing manuscript. 

As a senior acquisitions editor for Fog Harbor Books in San Francisco, Ingrid Erikson has rejected many a manuscript for lack of defined conflict and dramatic irony–two elements her current life possesses in spades. In the months following the death of her childhood best friend and international bestselling author Cecelia Campbell, Ingrid has not only lost her ability to escape into fiction due to a rare trauma response, but she’s also desperate to find the closure she’s convinced will come with Cecelia’s missing final manuscript.

After Ingrid jeopardizes her career, she fears her future will remain irrevocably broken. But then Joel Campbell–the man who shattered her belief in happily-ever-afters–offers her a sealed envelope from his late cousin, Cecelia, asking Joel and to put their differences aside and retrieve a mysterious package in their coastal Washington hometown.

Honoring Cecelia’s last request will challenge their convictions and test their loyalties, but through it all, will Ingrid and Joel be brave enough to uncover a twice-in-a-lifetime love?
